2015 Detroit Auto Show Preview: 2016 Toyota Tacoma makes early debut

The 2016 Toyota Tacoma will arrive next week at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, but the new vehicle showed its face today. Although there are no details available, we can easily observe the brand new design needed to be a better rival in the midsize pickup segment.

Compared with the current version, the 2016 Tacoma received redesigned headlights, new fog lights, a redesigned front bumper as well as a brand new front grille which offers a premium image. At the rear, there are new taillights but also a new bumper.

There are no details regarding the engine found under the hood, but judging after the badges on this truck there is a V6 powerplant.

Still, we also expect to see a four-cylinder engine as an option. Why a four-cylinder option? Because Toyota needs to compete with other vehicles such as the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon. As we said, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma will debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, so expect more details to arrive next week.
